weaving with hand spun art yarns on my ashford rigid heddle loom

I get asked in my spinning classes " what do you do with hand spun art yarns?" I say " It is ART, you hang it up and and enjoy it!" BUT i also like to weave with my art yarns… if i use for weft i use my Saori looms, but if i want the art yarns in the WARP and also the WEFT i use my loom ASHFORD RIGID HEDDLE LOOM CLICK HERE along with there exclusive FREEDOM ROLLER ACCESSORY

this brand new handle allows you to advance your cloth or warp beam easily if you have mobility issues with your hands,( which i do not but i still love the feel of this new tool and use all the time ) absolutely brilliant it comes in 2 sizes. smaller for the ashford sample it looms, and knitters looms, also a larger size for the ashofrd rigid heddle and table looms!

love my ashford rigid heddle loom

it is the only rh loom with the exra roller beam you can add called the freedom roller

after i wove the bright sparkly scarf i wove a guy art art scarf

I strongly dislike all the clamps on all rigid heddle looms! so i use a Irwin med size bar clamp to hold the loom and to use in place of the stupid clamp and peg that are sent for warping. no more flying off peg disastrous episodes ! they are less then $10 at the hardware store

the sucess is in part to the 2.5 heddle and the ashford freedom roller again which allows you to put more than a few yards on your ashforsd rh loom!
